hammer hardware/mitre10 and the likes have plastic tubing by the metre.thats what I used,cheap as chips and works. Somebody said to put cheap fuel filters on the top[ to stop bugs/dust getting down them too.but havent worried about that.

I got mine from Para on Moorhouse Ave I got some good quality fuel hose.It wont perish etc if it comes into contact with either fuel/oil or from heat.Its also very strong so it wont tear off if caught by sticks etc.

I got some stuff from blackwood and pycal (not sure on the spelling) doesn't crack like garden hose and around $3 a meter, great stuff, they also have lots of different fittings for the ends,
Picked up a couple of little filters from super cheap on sale, all up was about $50, diff to breather
